Barbra Streisand comments on the Queen and Margaret Thatcher<\/h3>\n

Music and movie icon Barbra Streisand was appreciative of working in Britain in the 80s because of the strong female leaders the country had at the time.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Mark Savage in a pre-recorded interview for BBC Breakfast, in what he described as the most high-production Zoom of all time, the EGOT explained how she felt when she came to the UK to film Yentil, which was released in 1983, which she co-wrote, co-produced, directed and starred in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so appreciative of being in England where you had a Queen and Margaret Thatcher was the Prime Minister,\u201d she intimated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, you weren\u2019t intimidated by me being a woman. But when I come to America I sadly tell you that it was so different here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbra had previously met the Queen in 1975 at the UK premiere of her movie Funny Girl, which marked her big-screen debut.<\/p>\n

Her remarks came as she discussed her long awaited autobiography simply called My Name Is Barbra, which hits bookshelves tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The tome reveals that she had a royal admirer in the shape of the then Prince Charles.<\/p>\n

She claims that she and the now King shared a “flirty relationship” and that she had no idea that he supposedly fancied her when they met.<\/p>\n

Barbra shared that Charles had sent her a bouquet of flowers, with her being told they were from “a fan called Charles”.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Barbra has mentioned him seemingly having a crush on her.<\/p>\n
